B cell-derived GABA elicits IL-10+ macrophages to limit anti-tumour immunity

Abstract: Small, soluble metabolites not only are essential intermediates in intracellular biochemical processes, but can also influence neighbouring cells when released into the extracellular milieu1–3. Here we identify the metabolite and neurotransmitter GABA as a candidate signalling molecule synthesized and secreted by activated B cells and plasma cells. We show that B cell-derived GABA promotes monocyte differentiation into anti-inflammatory macrophages that secrete interleukin-10 and inhibit CD8+ T cell killer fun… Show more

“…Excessive production of antibodies by plasma cells can also lead to immune complexes that may modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) and induce myeloid-derived suppressor cells (2). A recent study provided evidence that B cells can elicit IL-10 + macrophages by synthesizing and secreting the neurotransmitter GABA, which in turn can inhibit the cytotoxic function of CD8 + cells (13). These studies illustrate the complex and heterogeneous roles of B cells within the TME.…”

“…Interestingly, the existence of GABA in tumor tissues implies that it might participate in inflammatory reactions by anchoring invasive immune cells [50]. Moreover, recent studies show that GABA secreted from B cells provokes a protumor immune environment [51,52]. GABA is mainly derived from gastric cancer cells [53][54][55][56][57] and participates in tumorigenesis via PNI.…”

“…Then, we aimed to describe the TME differences between subtypes by using CIBERSORTx derived immune deconvolution and B-cell lymphoma speci c TME gene signatures 19 . CS1 cluster is immunologically "neutral" meanwhile the CS2, which is immunologically depleted, exhibits expression of vascular endothelial cells (VEC), memory resting CD4 + T-cells, monocytes, and activation of GABA synthesis, which has been recently linked to B-cells that inhibit CD8 + T-cells' killer function and promote monocyte differentiation into anti-in ammatory macrophages 20 . The CS4 cluster has a hot-in ammatory TME due to the presence of active CD8 + T-cells and NK cells (with high cytolytic activity score) 21 .…”
